I had a great day in Dallas. I am sitting in the airport right now hoping to make it out before the storm roles in.
I had the chance to hear Alan Roxburgh in person for the first time. If you are building a missional church bibliography, you will want his resources, including:
The Roxburg Journal
I was blessed to spend some time with Eric Swanson from Leadership Network after the conference. He co-wrote The Externally Focused Church. Eric is one of the more Christ-like leaders I know in Christian ministry and his book should be required reading for people interested in the missional church.
I also got some one-on-one time with Jeremy Self (who blogs here). Jeremy is planting a church in Austin, a city whose motto is "Keep Austin Weird." Should be interesting.
Finallly, it was good to catch up with Chris Conrad, director of church planting for the Wesleyan Church. I am coaching just a handful of movement leaders and Chris is one of them. They are doing great work in "Wesley world" and have a heart for more missional church planting.
More soon about DTS and their leadership center.

I am a DTS student, and was on campus today, but sadly, couldn't make it to the conference. I am crying inside.
My thesis was due today and then I had work, and then take my in-laws to the airport, and...I know...excuses, excuses.

Dr. Stetzer (since I don't know you personally):
I had the privilege of being at the conference and felt equipped well by it. Your final comment in this blog entry stated you would post more later about DTS and its leadership center. When will you do that? I am interested in what you have to say.
